Can you provide evidence for this claim? When MacPorts is running on the build machines, it has no idea it is running in a build machine. It is doing exactly what it would do on a user's machine. >> This will do the same but only for recursive dependents of openssl3: >> port -v installed rdependentof:openssl3 | grep -F i386 > openssl @3_21+universal requested_variants='+universal' platform='darwin > 15' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2024-11-06T10:45:41+0100' > openssl @3_22+universal (active) requested_variants='+universal' > platform='darwin 15' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2025-02-19T09:57:59+0100' > python310 @3.10.15_0+lto+optimizations+universal > requested_variants='+universal' platform='darwin 15' archs='i386 x86_64' > date='2024-11-06T10:46:17+0100' > python310 @3.10.16_0+lto+optimizations+universal (active) > requested_variants='+universal' platform='darwin 15' archs='i386 x86_64' > date='2025-01-27T01:31:31+0100' > > that looks like the issue is python itself that is requested universal? Yes, that output does show that you have requested the universal variant of python310. > how can try going back to x86_64 only for all packages, or at least, all > packages that don't need to be universal? If you do not actually want python310 installed with the universal variant, then install it without that variant. There is no built-in command to reinstall all ports without the universal variant. You can use a shell command pipeline to get the list of ports that are installed with the universal variant and reinstall them without that variant. I've probably posted such a command pipeline to this list or the other one many years ago, although that probably predated the tracking of requested variants and thus probably will not correctly preserve them.
